SpinCAS: a step toward virtual collaborative sculpting
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper adresses the forthcoming technical issue of collaborative geometric modeling, using a previously existing virtual sculpting framework. A software architecture is described, called SpinCAS (Spin3D Computer Aided Sculpting) providing the user with the ability to both sculpt objects virtually, and share such modeling along the internet in realtime. Technical issues are discussed, especially regarding classical geometric tools applications on network based applications. The notion of spacial lock is also closely studied, from a human-computer interface point of view, and also from a technical point of view.

VSculpt : a distributed virtual sculpting environment for collaborative design
A collaborative virtual sculpting system supports a team of geographically separated designers/engineers connected by networks to participate in designing three-dimensional (3-D) virtual engineering tools or sculptures. It encourages international collaboration at a minimal cost. However, in order for the system to be useful, two factors need to be addressed: intuitiveness and real-time interac...
متن کاملParallel interactive virtual machining on shared memory multiprocessors
Interactive sculpting is the process by which a designer can impose free-form shape changes on the object being designed. It has potential applications in the fields like computer aided geometric design arid rapid prototyping. Our approach to interactive sculpting is through the intermediate step of interactive virtual nlachining (IVM). IVM is a subset of interactive sculpting in that the degre...
متن کاملVirtual Sculpting and Virtual Woodblock Printing as a Tool for Enjoying Creation of 3D Shapes
In this paper, we present an interactive design system based on virtual sculpting to create 3D solid objects, with the stress on the aspect of a tool to enjoy creation or manipulation of 3D shapes. In the virtual sculpting system, a user can form a solid object as if carving a workpiece with chisels. A 3D object generated by the system looks like a real wooden sculpture. If using a board as a w...
متن کاملSculpting Polygonal Models using Virtual Tools
We describe a sculpting system for designing free-form polygonal models using virtual sculpting tools and mesh refinement operations. Virtual tools are geometric objects with shapes described by superquadric equations. The user controls a virtual tool to sculpt a free-form polygonal model starting from a mesh. The vertices of the mesh respond to a tool in a semi-realistic manner, allowing the u...
متن کاملSound Sculpting: Manipulating Sound through Virtual Sculpting
We have prototyped sound sculpting, an environment in which a sound artist or musician can create, edit or perform sounds by changing parameters, like position, orientation and shape of a virtual object as input device, that can only be perceived through its visual and acoustic representations. We implemented sound sculpting by extending a realtime, visual programming language called Max/FTS, w...
